It's a bad hire for UT fans who think they deserve better. It's a good hire for an AD that is trying to fill the position with a coach who has been a head coach before with a winning record.

 

Only time will tell. This is a 'wait and see' project if any there were such a thing.

 

I'll give him credit in one regard. Out of the past few recent coaches that have been at UT. Coach Jones has the best relationship with the city of Memphis High School coaches then any other recent hire. While at Cincy his staff made recruiting Memphis a priority. Those endeavors should help benefit UT in recruiting in Memphis in the future whith him as the HC at UT.

I think it was a solid hire, but he will never match the unrealistic expectations of the UT fanbase. UT fans just need to hope they can stay above Kentucky, because if Mark Stoops gets it going there, UT and Missouri will be hanging out at 6th and 7th place in the East for a while. Just my opinion though.

He's a great hire because he's turned the Tennessee football program around from the wasteland Derek Dooley turned it into! Tennessee will win the SEC East in 2016.

Eat them words!!!LOL.I thought theu would too.Now look at this dumpster fire.SMH.

Butch Jones had better start looking for a Defensive Coordinator and Offensive Coordinator that are WAY smarter than he is or he will be looking for a new job after the 2016 season.

After this Saturday we all wont have to worry about Jones anymore. Imo he will not beat South Carolina I may be wrong but to me he is just average coach and cannot get a team ready for game day! All of the Vol fans are ready to get him out. He will never win no more than 8 to 9 a game and cant win the games he must win!

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
